Maybe - anecdotally, HN at least is not very receptive to the idea that transformers are not (or with more data will never be) sentient somehow, and almost every post I see about this is followed up by the idiotic "how do we know human intelligence isn't the same thing", as if there's some body of commentators whose personal experience with consciousness somehow leads them to believe it might be achievable with matrix math.

Anyway, I don't think we're over the peak yet, the tech adjacent pseudo intellectuals that feed these bubbles (VCs etc) still very much think that math that generates a plausible transcript is alive.
